Chantix?

[kaysunshine 47]

Before I was allowed to have surgery I had to stop smoking for 2months. I went to my pcp and pick up a sript for Chantix.

I took it for 2months no issue. I haven't took the pill since surgery Aug 26. The urge for smoking came back and I decided I would take it again.

I got sick the frist time. Tried it again sick again. Does anyone else have this issue?

Should I crush them or what. At this time I scared as hack to take them.

Any strong psychotropic drug like Chantix performs differently with sleeves. Some were designed to break open in the stomach, others for extended release in the intestines. Very few people really study this, but it is a real problem:

I quit using Chartix, but everyone told me I acted like I was in a fog, and finally quit tobacco with vaping.

That's an eye opener. I will discuss this at my 6 week appt.

Thanks so much for that information.
